“He will want it to be this piece that speaks for itself that is still standing the test of time. “Me and Bill Nighy have seen each other a lot over the years at different work things. I try to make my work around that as much as I can. I can’t believe it has become this classic Christmas movie,” she said. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. “The one thing that seems to remain is that there are different challenges in the world at different times, but ultimately when we come together and when we understand and are kind about these challenges, love is something that binds us all together at the end of the day. “If the boxes were ticked 100% I would absolutely love to do something, but only if we all felt it would be amazing.” “Filming is so demanding and I have my young son Rafferty to think about as I want to spend as much time as I can with him. She explained: “I think Richard’s main passion is to try to make the world a better place through film. “Then you have to think of my co-stars - people like Emma Thompson, Laura Linney, they are constantly working and filming so it would have to work for them as well. “It was a really special, gorgeous experience and that showed on screen so the story would need to be right.

Martine McCutcheon, who plays Natalie in the popular Christmas classic Love Actually, has admitted she doesn't watch the film at Christmas.

The fact she was so open to the most powerful man in the country about her little vulnerability about herself was a very human thing. And there’s something about Natalie’s vulnerability, and I think Richard [Curtis] wanted a character who didn’t realise what she had,” she said. “There’s a lot of things that happen in it that aren’t PC, that aren’t perfect, that aren’t something you should want ideally.

When you’re young free and single you have the freedom and flexibility to be able to be more sociable on a whim. She grieved being able to express herself and the part of her that’s in her DNA, the performer in her.’ I’m a little fighter as well and I really identified with Tanja’s spirit and I’m in absolute awe of her. You think Sunday’s the day of rest but it’s amazing the amount of people who have kids’ parties on a Sunday, so you’re up again, dropping them off at Lazer Quest or some trampoline park or whatever it may be. It was really funny, I could really feel the shift – there was a certain fame I had when I was playing Tiffany, then when I did the pop music it felt different. I trained at the Italia Conti, and they taught you – whether you loved it or not – to be able to act, sing and dance to a certain level, purely because they wanted you to be employed. But I also think that when you’re telling a story about complicated love and human beings and their vulnerability, there’s also something to be said for that part, and the Emma Thompson part, and Andrew Lincoln being in love with his best friend’s wife. There’s something really powerful and lovely about that as a woman – you’re not as worried about what people will think anymore. Because I feel like I had such an amazing time and phase of the show. I think that’s part of what makes it human, and the fact it’s very real. There’s a lot of things that happen in it that aren’t PC, that aren’t perfect, that aren’t something you should want ideally. I’m not the only one, a lot of actors I speak to, even though they love the process, watching it back is really odd.
